Whatever you are currently finding challenging - anxiety, depression, trauma, despair and disappointments, relationship difficulties, parenting or grief, it is hard to respond creatively when you feel stuck or overwhelmed.

My approach is therefore rooted in a deep curiosity about the uniqueness of each individual.
